Abstract
A robot cleaner using artificial intelligence may include a traveling unit configured to move a main body; a cleaning unit configured to perform a cleaning function; a sensing unit configured to sense a surrounding user; and a controller configured to recognize location of a user based on information sensed through the sensing unit, and control to follow the user to perform cleaning. A method of controlling the robot cleaner using artificial intelligence may include recognizing location of a user; and a follow-up cleaning step of following the user to clean a surrounding area of the user.
